Answer 5

I am French so I know what “crudités” are in France. I do not know about fancy restaurants or caterers in others countries who try to make everything French expensive. In France, at least in Paris, where I am from, “crudités” is mostly used in the expression: “assiette de crudités”, which means a plate of vegetables, usually raw but sometimes cooked, but always cold, with a dressing, like “vinaigrette” (oil and vinegar…). I could be a salad made with shredded carrots or some mixed vegetables. When you order “une assiette de crudités”, you do not need to know exactly what it is, but you know it will be good vegetables, with a good dressing so you can eat this while you wait for the main course to be served to you. It’s better for your health than the “bread and butter” they serve in American restaurants.
